    I tried this on my lab (with XO 6.9.1), moving the pool master to the other host with xe pool-designate-new-master and then back. XO stayed connected both times and picked up the new master, even though Settings > Servers still showed the old host's address; on the way back it took a minute or two to catch up. I didn't test 6.2.2, and I used the CLI rather than the XO 5 Advanced tab, so my guess that your older version is the difference is only a guess. For the XVA, I'm not aware of release notes for the appliance image itself: it updates itself after import, and the notes that exist are per XO version, in the monthly blog post and the changelog, both linked from https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/getting-started/releases#release-cadence-and-channels . How often the downloadable XVA gets rebuilt I don't know, so the 2025.12 tag may just be the date of the base image, but I'd rather ask than guess.

    I ran into the same problem with DR replicas. Ignoring VMs by tag would solve the problem, but so would excluding the ip address information.

    Hi! We recieved a fix via the support after opening a ticket as suggested. Now the pool metadata backup is running smoothly again. As far as i know 6.9 will become "stable" after 6.10 is released. I'd still suggest a patch for the stable version, unless the new release is a few days. Best wishes Jacob

    @bug-meister Ah. That's cloud-init's support for templating user-data. The issue is that with these templates you only have access to the info available inside the VM itself. No outside data can be used for templating unless it is somehow passed to the VM (inject a file, set xenstore values...)

    Hi, There's no known mount issue at the moment. You can use SMB or NFS. XAPI is not able to push files, when you backup, an HTTP handle is created in the dom0, so it has to be fetched by something (XO in this case, or a proxy).

    @nicolai-comar said in Error when taking a snapshot in XO: xo-server 5.12.1 and xo-web 5.12.0 Those are really out-of-date. Please update to the latest available versions and try again.

    @busthead If you are importing a VM from your browser, you should not navigate away from XO as it will interrupt the upload. You can navigate to another page of XO though.

    I concentrated here, after upgrading my second server: Error: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by /root/xen-orchestra/node_modules/argon2/lib/binding/napi-v3/argon2.node) I've found circumstantial evidence that this depends on libraries found in newer gcc than is in the Cent OS 7 repo at this time. strings /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 | grep CXXABI CXXABI_1.3 CXXABI_1.3.1 CXXABI_1.3.2 CXXABI_1.3.3 CXXABI_1.3.4 CXXABI_1.3.5 CXXABI_1.3.6 CXXABI_1.3.7 CXXABI_TM_1 so argon2.node requires something newer than centos7 can provide?! and upgrading gcc does the trick? I may have to try when I have more time. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63374392/node-module-argon2-usr-lib-x86-64-linux-gnu-libstdc-so-6-version-cxxabi-1 Indeed here is Centos 8. $ strings /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 | grep CXXABI CXXABI_1.3 CXXABI_1.3.1 CXXABI_1.3.2 CXXABI_1.3.3 CXXABI_1.3.4 CXXABI_1.3.5 CXXABI_1.3.6 CXXABI_1.3.7 CXXABI_1.3.8 CXXABI_1.3.9 CXXABI_1.3.10 CXXABI_1.3.11 CXXABI_TM_1 CXXABI_FLOAT128 and yes, I understand that XO doesn't target CentOS, but its our 'standard' right now.

    @bsodmike Increase memory to node.js as described in the docs under memory management. Adding mem to VM is insufficient in isolation, so my post above may have been misleading (sorry!).

    @olivierlambert I think that the default behavior should be VMs stay on the SR that they are on. If you are taking a host down and moving the VMs to another host why would you move the VM storage location, that defeats one of the reasons you use shared storage.

    Yes, that's the plan: involving community for feedback. But keep in mind we don't want to make a clone of XenCenter It's a web application, so it comes with some perks but also drawbacks from a heavy client (you are running in a browser with XO, and we don't want to change all web behavior without necessity to do it). Thanks for the feedback (so feature wise I think we are at parity level, UI it's another story I agree)

    It's not a matter of believing, it's a matter of providing a way to reproduce the issue It's really hard to fix something if: we aren't aware of the issue we can't reproduce it

    Not enough space means not enough space to coalesce, and therefore XO will prevent to continue and fill entirely your storage because of uncoalesced chains.

    @tonyp90 I did file a feature suggestion, https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/4273 , but not a bug report. I'm using the xsconsole on the xcp-ng server itself in the few cases where I need to re-attach an SR.
